[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1129014, member: 31414"] Well Mr. award winning Hoaxster...first off, don't your arms ever get tired of "stirring"...or do you just set the mixer on automatic and let it go? Once again....excellent morning entertainment while I drink my coffee.. From the comments I am reading on UPSers.com, both UPS and the Teamsters should be concerned about passing this contract as written. Based on all the comments on UPSers, the part-time work force seems very concerned about their healthcare benefits. I'm surprised that UPS is actually allowing many of those comments to be posted. I believe that both UPS and the IBT would be well served by quickly educating and satisfying the concerns of the part-timers in regards to their health care. Some still believe that they will be paying co-pays, etc.. I myself will be voting no if the healthcare package is substandard to the one we have in place now. I have little doubt but what the loyal Hoffa Locals across the country will be doing their best to put a positive spin on this contract. (note....and once the contract is fully disclosed...that positive spin may be valid) For me personally, I do not like the "car salesman" approach to "selling" this contract. I like full undisclosed honesty and explanations. I don't like being treated like a "dumb Teamster". For example, if we had to make some concessions in order to make gains in other important areas.......just say it...and be truthful. I'm a big boy and can take the truth far better than I can tolerate masquerades. That said....if those concessions affect me or a great number of my co-workers adversely....then expect me to vote accordingly. Orangputeh made a good comment above.. Not to get the TDU issue heated again...but lack of information is what drives people to their site... IBT members like myself want the whole story....the good and the bad... leaving out the so called negatives of the contract by the IBT reduces their credibility... I just can't believe they have not figured that out yet... [/QUOTE]
